Chapter 488 The Game Begins

"Today, we will check the track for the last time, then check again for dangerous creatures to be put in, and finally check for personnel issues, and then the race can officially start."

The maze that has been cast with various protective magics is finally slowly taking shape. All kinds of dangerous magical creatures will be put in tonight in preparation for tomorrow's game.

This is also the first time that William has checked all the measures since the construction of this site began - after getting rid of the fifth grade teaching tasks and the two time-killing tools of Felixir, he finally has time to be busy with other things.

"Professor William," Lupine asked puzzledly while releasing destructive spells to test the strength of the maze, "It stands to reason that your elixir has been completed and a lot of it has been sent out, but why do I always feel You don’t seem very happy—did something go wrong during the fifth-grade exam?”

"That's not the case - the expectations should not be much different from last year's students' scores."

While answering Lupin, William carefully used spells to test the magical properties of the underground, "I'm just feeling a little emotional. With the graduation exam over, another group of students have to be sent away."

"That's true," a clear smile appeared on Lu Ping's face, "but the students' lack of growth is a big problem for us. Watching them grow up one by one, leave school, and be able to choose their favorite profession, this is already It’s great, isn’t it?”

William smiled and did not respond directly - he really didn't know how to explain to Lupine how outrageous it was that more than half of the emotion cards harvested from fifth grade students were in the state of fear...

This is even more unacceptable than the Elixir of Fortune not improving the card drawing status in any way...

'I am too fierce this year...why are all these students as scared as quails...'

While grumbling in his heart, he opened a solid wall with a wicked smile, and then led the other end to a dead end - this move made Moody and Lupine stunned for a moment, and then they immediately followed it happily.

Lupine began to destroy half of the wall and set up powerful traps, while Moody began to set up hidden traps that would sound alarms in remote corners where it was easy to hide.

"Hurry up and get some interesting parts together. After the final protective magic is applied tonight, it will become impossible to add traps!"

Not only did William have no intention of stopping the two of them, but he smiled and urged them to use their imaginations, trying to leave a deep impression on the warriors.

In the Triwizard Tournament, who can determine which one is stronger without a fight?

The more difficult the track, the more exciting the competition - the scenes of those warriors training hard are known to every professor, so how could the competition end without showing the results of their hard training?

During the heated discussion between the three of them, the number of traps originally planned increased by more than a third, and the arrangement time was even delayed by half an hour.

After William and the others left the maze, Bagman, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, looked relieved, "Professors, you are finally out - if we delay it any longer, I'm afraid our magical creatures used in the competition will be exposed."

"Don't worry...check the magical creatures a little more..."

William and Lupine happily dismissed Bagman, leaving a reluctant Moody to begin persuading the Ministry of Magic personnel present to undergo the necessary security inspections.

——

"Nothing can be found...nothing can be found..."

In the Hufflepuff lounge, the fifth-year students who stayed up late threw away the information in their hands in despair - they had finally finished the Devil's Exam and were in high spirits and wanted to make up for the lost contribution to the college this year, but they had no clue. None can be found.

A large amount of animal food was mixed together, and the analysis method that made important contributions to the first game suddenly lost its effect. The topographic map drawn these days was also forced to declare the fact that the professors had put it on the surface. waste.

There was no way - the entrance to the maze was the same every day, so who would find a drawn topographic map useful?

…

"What a pity, we didn't find any clues..."

"Needless to say sorry, you have helped us so much," Cedric hugged the classmate closest to him, "Besides, if we can't find anything, then the other party won't be able to find anything either. We are all on the same starting line. If so, we have nothing to fear..."

"Just wait for us to bring victory back."

He waved his hand and walked towards the empty classroom where daily training was held - according to the previously discussed procedure, they would gather there for the final time and then go to the competition.

——

"What a pity...Professor Snape actually strictly ordered us not to poison..."

"Yeah, if possible, we can probably win without a game..."

"As I said, poisoning outside the stadium is absolutely not feasible..."

Montague pressed his hand, "But inside the venue, just a few simple snakes..."

"Poisoning snakes? That's too..."

Another person couldn't help but ask a question - the difficulty of transforming a venomous snake is definitely not the same as that of an ordinary snake. Even the top students among sophomores can do it with an ordinary snake, but a venomous snake...

Moreover... snakes that are too venomous may not be much more aggressive, but may be judged as black magic...

"Shh..."

Montague raised his finger proudly, "You will know when the time comes."

——

"I'm going to compete, I wish you good luck."

"Thank you, let's watch our show."

In the Ravenclaw common room, Nancy was receiving blessings from other people in the same house.

Although everyone has speculated on what tactics the Warriors will use in Game 3, no one has discussed this topic.

Everyone silently sent their blessings, and then sent away the warriors of their own houses with a smile - and soon the topic turned to whether it was better to go to Hufflepuff to eat and drink while watching the game.

As for the competition - if you still can’t tell from the posture of your own warrior that she is confident, then you should just sit at the door of the lounge and chat with the knocker for two days...

——

"Harry, come on!"

Ron hugged Harry, and then waved the support object in his left hand.

They worked overtime between exams to complete these things - especially the fifth grade, who took over most of the work very diligently after escaping from the clutches of exams.

"Don't be too stressed. Even if you fail, we will always support you, Harry!"

When the twins came over to hug Harry, they whispered quietly in his ear, "Of course, it's best to win - we have witnessed with our own eyes how hard you work during this period!"

"good luck!"

The blessings from his friends made Harry feel more confident - and this scene reminded him of the school Quidditch match. This familiar smell gave him more confidence to win the game.

"Watch me bring the trophy back."

Harry waved his fist and walked firmly towards the empty classroom.

…

"Hey, what are you looking at..."

"Well, that's it, come on, and protect yourself."

"That's it, I have to go back to the academy. Professor Flitwick said we should gather together to cheer for the warriors..."

After a hug and a kiss, Autumn smiled, waved and ran off.

And Harry was almost in front of the empty classroom they had agreed upon. He waved to Qiu and walked towards the classroom resolutely.

——

"The personnel detection is correct, the space blockade is correct, and the prop inspection is completed."

In the big office, three professors were lying on rocking chairs, no one was too lazy to move.

"Fortunately, with the latest tracking system, it is no longer difficult to judge scores - otherwise we might have to find a way to identify who won the trophy first."

"We can't just follow the Ministry of Magic's suggestion and turn the trophy into a portkey and rashly lift the teleportation restrictions in that area. God knows what will happen."

William yawned, "That's it, let's start the gathering of the warriors - to verify whether they have been affected by any off-field magic?"

"That's not true. I'll make it up..."

Lupine lazily got up and said, "I almost forgot about this. If the warrior is controlled by black magic and suddenly rebels, or if half of the polyjuice potion fails and becomes someone from us or another school, then the game will be too much. A little embarrassed..."

"No, it's just a precautionary measure..."

While William fumbled for the potion and handed it to Lupine, he added and explained, "This is just gibberish on my part. How could such a thing happen..."

——

"How could this happen! Professor Lupine - I know your basic qualities as a former striker, but how could our warrior be secretly replaced under the eyes of their professor?"

Bagman waved his arms with a don't-you-can-be-kidding look on his face.

"The game starts in half an hour. It's too much for you to check whether the warriors are disguised and controlled now..."

For a moment, he really couldn't find the right words to describe Lu Ping's behavior, "Seriously, Professor Lu Ping, if we inspect it rashly, it will cause international disputes."

"Think about it, the winning school will definitely not say anything, but what if they lose, will they find an excuse like there is something wrong with the potion we provided, which affected the normal performance of their players?"

"So it won't work, it definitely won't work, Professor Lupine."

Bagman shook his head as if some evil spell had been cast on him, preventing Lupine from conducting such a dangerous inspection.

The other members of the referee team quickly noticed something was wrong here, and they quickly came over talking and laughing.

"what happened?"

Dumbledore looked at Lupin with a smile, "Is there anything else, Remus?"

"I want to do the necessary tests - this is the potion."

As Lupine spoke, he took out the two potions for testing and showed them to everyone.

"Very professional medicine..."

The headmaster of Ilvermorny looked at what Lupine was holding and spoke highly of it, "Then let's check... Is there anything we can't check?"

"Check, check, but Hogwarts players will also be checked..."

Madame Maxime looked at the potion without making any protest.

So, the resolution was passed.

——

"Quiet, quiet."

In the stands where Gryffindor was, Professor McGonagall looked at the pile of supporters without any sign of anger, and looked at the fire in front with a smile - everything will be displayed when the game starts later.

Fred and George felt itchy inside as if there were bugs crawling around, but they still restrained themselves and watched the game from the stands.

"What is that? Why did Professor Lupine pass by?"

The abnormality that occurred on the field attracted the attention of almost everyone. On the other side of the assembled warriors, Lupine stood in the middle and began to spray potions on the Hogwarts warriors one by one.

After one operation, nothing happened.

The twins shook their heads - most likely it was something from prom day, but that day it might have been a necessary element of a great joke, but today...

"sky!!!"

The Hufflepuffs closest to the warrior collectively exclaimed. One of the warriors in Ilvermorny who had been sprayed with potion began to deform, and then, another completely different face appeared over there.

"What's happening here?"

The strange movement on the field stunned everyone, and the boy was quickly recognized - he was a seventh-grade student from Durmstrang.

"Where are the warriors? Where are the warriors of Ilvermorny?"

"Sleeping in the tent..."

The boy who was caught didn't even look at his principal and admitted his mistake, "We thought he would be more alert before the game, but it didn't seem like he was, so we made a joke like this..."

Karkaroff walked over slowly, "You're a warrior who attacked another school, and you're pretending! Go back and put you in solitary confinement, I'll put you in solitary confinement for half a year!"

He was angry at the students of his school for a long time, and then turned around, "We are willing to bear all punishments within the rules and make necessary compensation..."

Bagman's face felt a little hot - but keeping the loose rules in mind, he had no choice but to follow the rules. "Serious violation, according to the rules for handling similar incidents five hundred years ago, Durmstrang must pay a fee A fine of a thousand galleons!”

"I will comply and we will pay the fine before the sun goes down tomorrow."

Karkaroff said calmly, then returned to his seat.

But not long after, he returned - because one of Beauxbatons' warriors was also replaced by Durmstrang's man...

But this has nothing to do with Karkaroff, because this is another spontaneously organized sneak attack on the warriors... As for the four warriors, everyone is naturally paying attention...

"Karkaroff, is this an accident again?"

Madame Maxime stared closely at Karkaroff, but there was nothing she could do - she knew very well how many loopholes could be exploited in that ambiguous agreement.

Just as she was staring at Karkaroff angrily, one of Durmstrang's warriors suddenly trembled and looked at Beauxbatons' Fleur in horror with his clothes soaked by the potion.

Then, he suddenly dried the potion himself, and his eyes became gentle again and no longer aggressive.

"Ah, Miss Furong, I want to be yours..."

Before he could finish his words, Lupine poured all the remaining potions on him. He woke up and hid behind his teammates.

Mrs. Maxim sat down at this moment and looked at Karkaroff, "Well, sometimes we have to admit that accidents always happen in places we can't imagine..."
